A Must in Palermo - This tour is a must in Palermo! Make sure you do the tour with Fabrizio, he is absolutely wonderful. My husband and I did this tour two years ago with our kids. It was so great we did it again with our family (aunts, uncle, and cousins). Wonderful tour of the city. It is so informative. The street food can’t be beat. Fabrizio takes you to the street market to get an authentic feel of the city.

Family Tour - Fabrizio gave us a wonderful tour of Palermo! He was able to engage a group of 3 generations with stories and history of the city. He presented sites that would have escaped us, and we loved our time at the market. Many thanks for making our trip to Palermo so memorable!
